George,
I have met brother Bill. My dad introduced them to me at Sam's Rest. several years ago. We have some overlapping mineral interest together that came from my grandfather. Supper Nice Guy.

Dave,
I had 9 kids on the pier yesterday. There ages ranged from 2-7. We filled a wire basket with crappie and bass. They had a blast!!!! One little six year old girl caught a 4" bluegill and put it in her pocket. Three hours later she was still pulling it from her pocket to look at and show off. As far as I know, the bluegill went home with her in her pocket. Too cute!!!
As for bass fishing. I've been too busy. Have only been in the boat once which was a week ago. My wife caught a 9lb, my son a 5lb and I caught an 8lb. As usual we cleaned about 15 lbs. under 16". You may have noticed that I posted some things under structures a few months ago. Well the concrete blocks that we placed in the 3-4' water really paid off. It was great fishing around the blocks.
Hope to meet you sometime in person.
Later,
David
